When I say

{{{ pattern Id x = x

Id x = True }}}

I get

{{{ Not in scope: data constructor ‘Id’ }}}

This happens with both 7.8.3 and HEAD.

New description: When I say {{{ {-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-} pattern Id x = x Id x = True }}} I get {{{ Not in scope: data constructor ‘Id’ }}} This happens with both 7.8.3 and HEAD. -- Comment: Note that pattern binds, in general, don't have this problem, only at the top level; e.g. the following works as expected: {{{ {-# LANGUAGE PatternSynonyms #-} pattern Id x = x foo = x where Id x = True }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9889#comment:2> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
